Jessie + Ryan | Oyster Farm Seafood Eatery Coral + Aqua Wedding

There is so much cuteness in this wedding it’s almost too much to handle, and it all begins with ADORABLE Jessie who I can never get enough of!! She is one of those charismatic, loving and kind girls that just has no idea how amazing she is. Everyone loves her and raved about her left and right, from her bridesmaids, to her loving parents, to the guest…and of course…that groom that was SO excited to finally get his arms around her and make her his WIFE!

This was one of those long awaited weddings where all of the people in attendance had watched this beautiful relationship building for years and years (did I hear them say 7!?) – and being a part of something so special was a complete honor to me. Let’s talk about the weather, too..this wedding was one day after me and my husband’s 5 year wedding anniversary and the weather was SUCH a familiar experience for us…but kind of reversed the other way around! OUR wedding day was constant lightening and storms and then sunny days, and Jessie and Ryan had bright sun, then clouds, then heavy cloud coverage all the way to we’re watching lightening in the distance during the ceremony…but they were SO awesome and had all their portraits taken BEFORE the ceremony and it literally SAVED their portraits!!! It could not have worked out better, and I was SO thankful because they more than deserve the best!!! 🙂

Jessie and Ryan, you just shine when you’re together, and everyone knows it. There is nothing I love and appreciate more than a groom that’s as kind to me as the bride is and it’s something I never, ever forget..so thank you two for being the best I could ever hope for! CONGRATS!!!!!!!!! 🙂

Thank you to my HUSBAND for second shooting and being amazing! 🙂 Can’t wait to be an official team in 2016 with you! 🙂
